I believe Alexa does as good a job as anyone with that shit gimmick, and she should be commended for doing her best to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
However this excuse of "kayfabe is dead" that fans and wrestlers alike use, is a cancer on the industry. It's very difficult these days, to get fans to forget they're watching a show and invest in what's happening as if it's real. It's difficult to capture the fans emotions like that, but not impossible. That becomes much harder when the breaking of character is constantly shoved in your face literally all the time. In today's environment, you don't even have to be looking for it to see it, so simply avoiding social media isn't an answer.
Point is wrestlers should stay the fuck off Twitter unless they're in character.
